So no one is going to work on a Saturday… I feel like there’s maybe 5 better days of the week which might make a bigger impact.

I can't tell if you're joking? Tens of millions of people work on Saturday.

Tens of millions of people spend money on Saturday.

Are you a bot?

Not a bot and not joking. While I agree a lot of people work weekends, you must admit those jobs also work weekdays when most everyone on the planet works. There’s a heck of a lot more people working Monday-Friday than Saturday (or even fewer, Sunday). Want to shut down the means of production, do it on a weekday. Want Retail and Food Service to lose a bit of money, do it on a weekend. On a weekday you shut down not only retail outlets and restaurants, but manufacturing, construction, government services and offices, etc.
